CBS’s new midseason drama Elsbeth returns to the network’s primetime lineup with an episode that features guest stars Linda Lavin and Jane Krakowski. Season one episode two, “A Classic New York Character,” will air on Thursday, April 4, 2024 at 9pm Et/Pt. Episode three, “Reality Shock,” follows at 10pm Et/Pt.
The new primetime drama kicked off with an episode that featured a friend of Carrie Preston’s, Stephen Moyer. During a press conference prior to the premiere, Preston talked about reuniting with her True Blood co-star.
“You know, True Blood, I mean, it holds a special special place in my heart. My career sort of took off in a way that it hadn’t before that show, and so we all bonded. We made True Blood kind of in a vacuum, and then it aired. […] We weren’t even together. So, we all like bonded over that show,...

Carrie Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni. Photo: Elizabeth Fisher/CBS ©2023 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Even though she was never a series regular, Carrie Preston became a fan favorite on The Good Wife with her occasionally recurring character, Elsbeth Tascioni. In fact, her appearances on the show earned her a pair of Primetime Emmy nominations as a guest actor, and she won the award in 2013. After The Good Wife signed off, Preston reprised the role on the first Good Wife spinoff series, The Good Fight. Now, Preston’s character is getting her own spinoff series, Elsbeth. While The Good Wife and The Good Fight were dramas with some comedic elements, Elsbeth is more of a comedy with dramatic undercurrents. It’s created and produced by the same team that created the previous series, Robert and Michelle King, and Preston says she’s grateful to be given the chance to expand...

It’s been 15 years since “The Good Wife” first premiered on CBS, seven years since its initial spinoff, “The Good Fight,” helped launch CBS All Access, and zero years since “Elsbeth” brings the “Good” universe full circle. On February 29, 2024, the franchise returns to CBS — albeit with every advertisement noting you can also watch episodes on CBS All Access Paramount+ — as the Carrie Preston-starring drama series extends Robert and Michelle King’s legal procedurals into new territory: Instead of outwitting her fellow attorneys, Elsbeth now polices the police.
Preston stars as Elsbeth Tascioni, a defense attorney first introduced in “The Good Wife” (and brought back for “The Good Fight”) whose ceaselessly chipper demeanor encourages friends and enemies alike to underestimate her at every turn. In the “Elsbeth” pilot, she enters a crime scene wearing a foam Statue of Liberty hat, shamelessly flaunting her image as the bright-eyed tourist in a city of hardened cynics.

Politics shouldn’t be the least bit entertaining. In a perfect democratic political system, very serious people dress up in formal wear, gather in Greco-Roman style buildings, and sincerely debate the issues of the day, coming to a perfect compromise with well-reasoned legislations. It’s all very dry. Unfortunately for our society, that’s obviously not the world we live in. Fortunately for our televised bemusement, however, it is.
No medium is better suited to take advantage of political dysfunction than television. Episodic dramas play with the exquisite tension produced by flawed institutions while comedies just have a blast laughing at the circus. Even the most idealistic political TV series like The West Wing implicitly understand that there’s something pulpy and fun about a group of seemingly well-educated professionals trying to confront the impossible contradictions of running a free society.

Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart in The Good Fight streaming on Paramount+, 2022. Photo Credit: Elizabeth Fisher/Paramount+. When it comes to American politics, The Good Fight has certainly lived up to its name, because it hasn’t pulled any punches in criticizing real-life political figures and institutions. With the show now in its final season, star Christine Baranski told us she hasn’t gotten much feedback about the show’s political targeting, and she also considers the political elements to be a secondary part of the show.(Click on the media bar below to hear Christine Baranski) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Christina_Baranski_Feed_back_politcial_Good_Fight_.mp3 The Good Fight is currently streaming on Paramount+, with new episodes added every Thursday.

Christine Baranski as DIane Lockhart in The Good Fight on Paramount+, 2022. Photo Credit: Elizabeth Fisher/Paramount+. While The Good Wife, for the most part, kept itself from indulging in real-world references, spin-off The Good Fight has gone in the opposite direction. The series opened in February 2017 with lawyer Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) reacting to the inauguration of newly elected President Donald Trump; his presidency and its aftermath have fueled many of the show’s story arcs over the show’s first five seasons, and it’s a good bet that the show’s final season will continue to reference current events in the real world. And while the show has taken some criticism for its political leanings, co-creator/producer/writer Robert King and Baranski doesn’t think the criticism is warranted; as they told us, the show makes a point of including multiple points of view in its episodes.

Wade, to voting rights, to Cold War aggressions returning. Meanwhile, the lawyers of Reddick & Associates wonder if the violence that they see all around them points to an impending civil war.

When it comes to Sister Andrea (Andrea Martin) and demons facing off on Evil, our money is on the nun. And it sounds like we’ll find out if that’s the right call as Season 3 continues. Sister Andrea successfully beat Leland Townsend’s (Michael Emerson) attempt to have the church force her into early retirement, and while their fight is not over, “his story evolves into something apart from the Sister, which obviously will affect her if there’s another season and if I’m on it, but there’s not the confrontation that we had last year where I have the knife or where I put the ammonia on him,” Martin told TV Insider (prior to the Season 4 renewal). “It’s much more cerebral this year. Many of the confrontations I have this year are actually with demons and they’re dangerous and it’s visceral and very exciting to watch.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Evil Season 3 Episode 3 “The Demon of Sex.”] How does one explain away an eyeball popping up in a toilet, especially one that’s been bleeding and groaning (and that had a head flushed down it)? That’s one of the questions right now on Evil, and seeing that eye is doing things to skeptic Ben (Aasif Mandvi) after Kristen (Katja Herbers) calls him in to take a look in her bathroom. Elizabeth Fisher/Paramount+ “That’s when he starts to sort of, for lack of a better word, implode,” Mandvi told TV Insider. “[Co-creator] Robert [King] said to me at the beginning of the season, ‘Ben’s brain bursts,’ and that’s a really great analogy for what’s happening to him. Things are now happening [that shouldn’t be]. He has that great moment where he just walks out of the house. It’s like he’s thrown his hands up. He’...
